The two found a position with a line of sight, which overlooked the entire camp and was very close to the camp. The two carefully observed the camp. There were four simple thatched houses in the camp. The thatched houses on the mountain side were slightly taller, and the two ends of the ridge were slightly taller.
Decorated with some feathers, there is a wooden stake several meters high at the door on the end wall, facing a small square surrounded by three other thatched houses. There is a bonfire burning in the middle of the square, and about a dozen dwarfs are sitting or sitting there.
Or stand around a campfire.
Beside the bonfire, there was a dwarf with a feather crown on his head and a wooden stick in his hand. He was standing there talking something. He held the stick high for a while, and stood still for a while, seeming to have his eyes closed.
He was muttering something, and the dwarfs around him looked respectful to him.
Steven made a gesture to Kate, and the two hid behind a big tree and discussed the action plan in a low voice. It was already getting late, and they had to end the battle quickly if they wanted to take action.
The two then leaned over and slowly approached the camp, arriving at the gap between the two thatched houses on the left. There was a big tree here. Kate stood under the tree. Steven handed Kate the hunting bow and arrows he had.
Then he went around to the right.
Later, Steven approached the hut from the right along the hillside. He quietly walked around to the back of the hut, where he could hear the sounds of the dwarfs beside the bonfire in the small square. Steven took out a stone dart with his left hand and pulled it out with his right hand.
The straight knife behind him went directly from the back of the house to the side of the small square.
Steven raised his hand and shot the stone dart towards the dwarf with the crown, and then launched a charge towards the dwarfs. At this time, Kate had climbed to the tree in front of her, she drew her bow and arrow, and aimed at a dwarf.
He let go and shot an arrow.
The dart thrown by Steven directly hit the dwarf with the feather crest on the head, knocking the hood away. The dwarf was knocked around half a circle and fell to the ground twitching. The other dwarfs were like
It was a frightened bee swarm that dispersed immediately. They were screaming wildly, looking for the murderer who threw stones.
Steven had already rushed to the side of the first dwarf, swung the straight knife and cut off his neck. Before his head even hit the ground, he had already turned around and the straight knife was inserted into the chest of the other dwarf.
At this time, Kate had already shot two dwarfs in the tree. He specifically aimed at the dwarfs who were far away from Steven and those who were about to rush into the hut to get weapons.
At this time, the two dwarfs by the fire pulled out two burning sticks from the bonfire and waved them towards him. The others ran into the hut to get their weapons. Steven suddenly accelerated and sprinted to the front in a few steps.
In front of the two dwarfs, the straight knife swept from left to right. The two dwarfs miscalculated Steven's speed. When they wanted to stop, the straight knife had already swept across their necks, and the burning wooden sticks they waved were
They were cut into two pieces at the same time, and the two dwarfs fell to the ground holding their necks with blood gushing out.
At this time, several dwarfs rushed out of the house with weapons. The one who just rushed out was shot through the throat by Kate's arrow. Several dwarfs rushed out of the other huts, and some opened their short bows and aimed at Shi.
Tiwen, some raised their spears and charged towards Steven.
Steven used his agile steps to avoid the charging dwarfs, and rushed towards the two dwarfs who were shooting with short bows. On the way, he turned sideways to avoid the arrows, and quickly approached a dwarf who was stringing his string. At this time,
Another dwarf who was about to shoot had his eye socket inserted by Kate's arrow and fell to the ground.
Steven rushed forward quickly and slashed diagonally with his straight sword, slashing the dwarf who was about to shoot an arrow from his left shoulder to his right shoulder and armpit. The body that was split in half fell to both sides, but Steven had already jumped forward and hid.
He fired the spear thrown by a dwarf behind him. As soon as the dwarf threw the spear, Kate had already hit him in the back of the head with an arrow. He grabbed his hands back and fell to the ground twitching. Then Kate shot another arrow with an arrow.
Shoot the dwarf who rushes towards you.
In just a short while, the ground was already covered with the bodies of dwarves. Some of them were rolling around. They were those who had been seriously injured and lost their fighting ability. Steven ignored those on the ground. Only two dwarfs were still standing opposite him.
On the ground, one was walking around behind Steven with a spear, and the other was holding a blowpipe with his mouth bulging and both hands pointing at Steven, ready to fire the blowgun at any time.
After Kate got rid of the dwarf who finally rushed towards her, she jumped down from the tree and walked towards the square with her bow. At this time, the two dwarfs on Steven's side launched an attack at the same time, and the dwarf behind him screamed.
Then, he raised his spear and stabbed Steven in the back. The dwarf in front puffed his mouth and fired a blow dart.
The direction of the blow dart was pointed directly at Steven's face. Steven turned his head to the right to avoid the blow dart. Then he rushed forward, rolled on the ground, stood up on his knees, and waved the straight knife.
, and at the same time, he dodged the spear of the dwarf behind him. The dwarf's spear pierced the air, and the opponent rolled away again. He raised his spear and charged, preparing to get close to Steven's back.
At this time, he heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating in his ears. Before he could react, the arrowhead of an arrow had already penetrated the back of his neck and pierced his neck.
At this time, Steven had already rolled in front of the dwarf holding the blowpipe, and swung the straight knife horizontally. The dwarf was retreating, but his speed could not compare with the straight knife waving in Steven's hand. With a bang,
His waist was cut in half with a straight knife, and his internal organs spurted out with purple blood. He fell to the ground and twitched a few times before becoming motionless.
The battle only lasted less than 5 minutes. Purple blood and internal organs were spread all over the ground around the bonfire, and also stained Steven's clothes. He shook off the blood on the straight knife, and then separated from Kate with the knife.
I walked into the thatched house and searched, but found no living dwarf.
Later, the two came to the square and stood next to the corpse of the dwarf with the crown. He was still holding on to this wooden staff. This wooden staff was made of some kind of twisted and twisted peeled branches, with inlays on the top.
A human skull.
Steven took the skull off the wooden stick and took it in his hand to look at it carefully. The upper half of the skull had been worn a bit. It seemed that it had been a long time. At this time, Kate said not far away:
"Steven, there is a hole here, let's go in and take a look."
Steven turned around and saw that there was indeed a small hole in the rock wall behind the slightly higher hut. The height was slightly higher than that of the two of them. The two of them took out two burning sticks from the bonfire and walked in holding them.
The cave.
The cave was only a dozen meters deep, but it exuded a stench. After entering the cave for a few meters, they found a shallow pit on the ground filled with bones. The two checked it out and found that most of the bones belonged to various beasts, but they
Human skeletons were subsequently discovered.
Those human bones were mixed with the bones of beasts, and it was difficult to tell how many there were. The two rummaged around and found 5 skulls. Together with the one in Steven's hand, there were 6 in total.
There were gnawing marks on the skulls in the pit, and those marks matched the teeth in the dwarf's mouth. It seemed that the expedition had been destroyed a long time ago. After they were eaten by these dwarfs, the bones were thrown into the pit.
